Each thing that exists remains forever, and that very existence of existence is proof of its eternity. But without that realization, which is the knowledge of perfect being, man would never know whether there was existence or non-existence. If eternal existence is altered, then it must become more beautiful and if it disappears, it must return with more sublime image and if it sleeps, it must dream of a better awakening, for it is ever greater upon its rebirth.
More Quotes from Kahlil Gibran:
Happiness is a myth we seek, If manifested surely irks Like river speeding to the plain, On its arrival slows and murks. For man is happy only in His aspiration to the heights When he attains his goal, he cools And longs for other distant flights.Kahlil Gibran

Kahlil Gibran

I'm writing new songs for a Broadway version of Tarzan, which is very interesting. I think what I learned from the Brother Bear score side of things, I've brought into the new Tarzan songs. Thinking outside just guitar, bass, drums and keyboards.
